Head Straight

(album: Pain Is Real - 2023)

Yeah, you know when shit be getting tough, keep your head straight
And free bro locked, he an inmate
Down bad, niggas know we had to risk fate
Young nigga moving fast, had to change pace
We prepared for the worst, but we stand tall
Gon' hope for the best, know we might fall
Had to go feed the fam, had to break law
Stayed down right here, but he seen far

I remember in the trench, had the K cup
Me and Doom on the list, catching late ones
I was born a real nigga, can't fake nothing
Never envy next man, I don't chase nothing
Got it straight from the mud, ain't no cheat code
I was age sixteen, tryna live grown
Young nigga taking risks, always been bold
Every day, moving hot 'cause my heart cold
I'm the one of a kind, no one like me
We was out on the block in them white tees
Late night with the rock for them night fiends
Had dreams of the A, but I sold C
Seen shit, say nothing, you don't know me
Huh, you don't know me
'Til we up, hold it down like I'm Kobe
Huh, like I'm Kobe

Yeah, you know when shit be getting tough, keep your head straight
And free bro locked, he an inmate
Down bad, niggas know we had to risk fate
Young nigga moving fast, had to change pace
We prepared for the worst, but we stand tall
Gon' hope for the best, know we might fall
Had to go feed the fam, had to break law
Stayed down right here, but he seen far

I been walking through the storm with a Kobe
Shit so cold that my heart freeze
Ever since the bust down, now she know me
Know the dick put her down like some morphine
Coming up as a kid, was an OGs
No nigga out here lil' bro me
If you say that you did, gotta show me
Once you give a bitch an inch, she gon' OD
I ain't never finna trip when some shit go down
Loved too hard, man, that nigga soft now
Coming up out the trench, never put your gun down
'Cause the day that you slip, it's gon' be your last round
No matter how we get, stay ten toes down
Niggas full of shit, put the windows down
Ex is a bitch, know them doors closed now
Over love, never pissed, I just shit on 'em now

Yeah, you know when shit be getting tough, keep your head straight
And free bro locked, he an inmate
Down bad, niggas know we had to risk fate
Young nigga moving fast, had to change pace
We prepared for the worst, but we stand tall
Gon' hope for the best, know we might fall
Had to go feed the fam, had to break law
Stayed down right here, but he seen far

Stayed down right here, but he seen far
Stayed down right here, but he seen far
